FIRST LADY JILL BIDEN MAKES EMOTIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT
She chose to say goodbye not with a press conference, but with a trembling voice to fellow educators who understood what it means to give your life to a classroom. After decades of juggling public duty and private devotion to her students, she stepped away on her own terms, in the same unassuming way she always showed up: prepared, present, and deeply human.
Her departure from teaching wasn’t a retreat from purpose, but a redirection of it. The lessons she poured into thousands of students now echo in their careers, their families, and their quiet acts of courage. Far from the spotlight, she proved that influence isn’t measured in headlines, but in handwritten notes, late-night grading, and the belief that every student holds unseen possibility. Retirement closed the door to one classroom, but opened countless others in the lives she forever changed.
Jill Biden has pledged to "clarify things" in her upcoming memoir about his presidency and his departure from office.
Former first lady Jill Biden is speaking out about her husband, former President Joe Biden, and his decision to exit the 2024 presidential race following mounting pressure from Democrats, in a new memoir set to be released in June, the Associated Press (AP) reported Wednesday.
The former first lady told the AP that the memoir would be a "reflection of my four years as first lady."
Her memoir, "View from the East Wing: A Memoir," will be published June 2.
"It was kind of cathartic for me to write it, and I wrote about all the, you know, sometimes painful — but other times, most of it really beautiful moments that Joe and I shared during his presidency," she told the AP.
DC archbishop hits 'out of control' illegal immigration under Biden, but criticizes 'roundup' under Trump
Archbishop of Washington, D.C., Cardinal Robert McElroy said Sunday that former President Biden's open border policy was "out of control," but he also took issue with President Donald Trump's immigration policy.
"I feel it got to a point where it was getting out of control," he told CBS' "60 Minutes," as host Norah O'Donnell confirmed he meant under Biden's presidency.
O'Donnell asked, "You believe in strong borders?"

"This is a roundup of people throughout the country. People who have been living good, strong lives, been here a long time, raised their children here, many of their children born here and are citizens. That's what our objection is," he said.
Biden's office did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
"President Trump was elected as the President of the United States based on the many promises he made to the American people, including his promise to deport criminal illegal aliens. He is keeping his promise to the American people," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
McElroy served as the bishop of San Diego before becoming the Archbishop of D.C. Pope Francis tapped McElroy to become the archbishop of Washington, D.C., in January 2025.
McElroy previously described Trump's immigration policy as an "assault."

O'Donnell noted that Trump ran on mass deportations throughout his campaign.
"And yet President Trump won the Catholic vote over Kamala Harris handily, 55 to 43%. He promised to secure the border. He talked about deportation. And a majority of Catholics voted for the policy," O'Donnell told the group of American cardinals she interviewed for the segment.

O'Donnell spoke to McElory, as well as Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, and Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey.
"I would like to know what Catholics feel about this indiscriminate mass deportation. I think that it's very clear the American people are saying, 'We really didn't vote for this,'" Cupich told O'Donnell.
